Very nice

I bought one in brown as a Christmas present and wish I had bought them in every color for all the women in my life and one for myself. Simple, elegant without being "fancy," perfect piece to dress up an every day outfit, or to wear with something nicer.

Very pretty red glass pendant and beads. The necklace looks antique-ish and is very much as shown except the color (of the red one) is even more vibrant than shown. It is a very good value and would make a wonderful gift.

I just love it. So, so beautiful. I will order more in the future. I wanted to order the teal color as well, but was out of that color at the time, and I ordered the burgundy color. Glad to be giving to a wonderful cause as well. Thank you so much!

Artisan: Toucan Krafte

Toucan Krafte is an artisan group made up of economically disadvantaged women from villages just outside of New Delhi, India. Besides providing the women with a much-needed steady income, Toucan also provides schooling for artisan's children, health care, and ongoing education and support. Many women are the sole income provider for their family, while others use the fair wage they receive to ensure their children can attend school and have the required books and supplies. Toucan focuses on educating women in order to break the cycle of poverty and dependence, and channels their profits into a trust that provides scholarships for girls' higher education.

Artisan Geeta

Geeta, the eldest of seven children, left school early in order to support her family and found opportunity with Toucan Krafte. Although Geeta had no experience with jewelry, she completed the training program and soon began to excel in beaded jewelry and crafts. The fair wage she earns has enabled her to help support her family and to send her younger siblings to school. Geeta now teaches craft skills to other women in her community, further expanding hope and opportunity in her community.
